Only request the importers and the manufactures ensure their products compliance with RoHS. Therefore, some Accreditation Bodies or labs provided service for RoHS is not standard. If the manufactures ensure their products compliance with RoSH, meanwhile no special require from customer, that is no need to for testing and certification report.
